Eval R-block: wrong-type-argument stringp nil

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

I have just updated to 9.4.4-16-g0abd4a-elpa (and have patched ox.el with
Eric Abrahamsen's patch available here at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2020-08/msg00039.html,
but I don't think that that is relevant to the problem I am experiencing).

I have an R block I evaluate at the beginning of each month.  Today I got
the following error: 

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

Any ideas?

Restarting Emacs resolved the problem.
